@Ottilie- I'm so glad you think ZoeElizabeth is pretty. You have beautiful taste in names! I'm going to run Esteri (my mother's middle name is Esther so this would be a nice way to tie her in), Ines, and Pilar by the hubs. I love Tamar and Leyre but I can already see the wrinkled nose face he gives me when he doesn't like a name. Going to try anyway!

@teacherma- Elise! Duh! I don't know why that one hadn't occurred to me! It just might work with the hubs! Also, I love Angeline (it's a spin on my own middle name). He hasn't totally shot that one down because its so similar to my own name, so I'm going to try that one on him again. Miriam he already vetoed. I love the other names, but that ends-in-a issue is killing me!

@joyful. Thanks so much!!! I don't hate the combo. Elizabeth has always been a love of mine, and the combined meaning of Zoe and Elizabeth is amazing. It's growing on me! Seeing everyone's positive response has been very encouraging.

@chrisco- Fellow Zoe lover! I like that spelling of Leire. I really like Marisol also. Gonna try that one on the hubs. I love Sarai, but he has a cousin named that.

@megamuffin- name twin! I hear you on using Elizabeth to get Zoe. I know how much you love it as well. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your husband comes around to it. ZoeTheophania would be beyond amazing. I like Madeleine. That one hasn't occurred to me. Thank you!
